Introducing Collegium Symphonic Chorus
Since its inception in 1997, the Collegium Symphonic Chorus has impressed and mesmerised audiences throughout Australia and overseas, including New York, Salzburg and Vienna. Led by internationally-acclaimed conductor Dr Margaret Pride, the chorus comprises close to 100 disciplined, enthusiastic and passionate individuals who are skilled in performing the works of some of the best choral composers throughout the ages.
- The Collegium Symphonic Chorus is undoubtedly one of the best choirs I have worked with. The professionalism and attention to detail in their singing is second to none. Add to this a genuine openness and friendly atmosphere and you have a choir of unique quality. Christopher Saunders (Tenor)
- Collegium Symphonic Chorus is a group of hard-working, disciplined and enthusiastic choristers who sing with all the emotional integrity and technical accuracy that makes a great choir. Working alongside them is both a great honour and pleasure. Sara Macliver (Soprano).
- The notable quality that sets Collegium Symphonic Chorus apart is their passion for the music. Both Chorus and Music Director's commitment to a performance is palpable and the results are thrilling for audience and participants alike. This combined effort of community and professional music making is a beacon, and should be supported at every opportunity. Fiona Campbell (Mezzo-Soprano).

Concert Schedule
While Vaughan Williams’ luxuriant and evocative setting of the Dona nobis pacem text complements Walt Whitman’s poignant pacifist poetry written from the trenches of the American Civil War, the tranquil beauty of the ethereal vocal lines of Fauré’s exquisite Requiem take us on a musical journey to spiritual paradise. The juxtaposition of these two works will contrast the sadness and futility of war with the promise of spiritual peace and eternal life
Redemptorist Monastery North Perth
Rachmaninoff’s a cappella Vespers is a monumental work that elevates the spirit and captivates the ear by its sheer beauty. His choral writing, inspired by Byzantine chant, exploits the rich sonority and timbrel colours of the Russian choral school. Scored for three to eleven vocal parts, the Vespers might be regarded as a vast choral symphony in which the sacred elements assume epic proportions, leading the listener to a vision of heavenly glory.
